Nightgown Valentine

I received a beautiful cotton nightgown as a gift from a friend recently. It has the cutest pattern in gray, pink, and coral and it's so soft and comfortable. This became my inspiration for this card.

Using stamps from Tiny Tags and my SU markers I made my own background paper. The hearts come from the new set I {Heart} Hearts, and the sentiment from Well Scripted.

The base of the card is Basic Gray stamped with VersaMark. Pretty in Pink and Cameo Coral were the other colors in the palette. I also managed to use the new Pinked Hearts border and corner punches on the Pretty in Pink paper, as well as the tiny heart punch in gray. The ribbon is Basic Gray Taffetta.

About Me

Welcome. My name is Lorraine Mastalski and I'm a lifelong crafter married 40 years to the love of my life who tolerates my obsession with craft supplies and the creative mess we're constantly in the state of. I work in a busy school office and come home to de-stress in my craft room to keep my sanity. Our children have left the nest and we were left with the bird - Kirby, our cockatiel who can be both sweet and nasty in a split second. I hope you enjoy your visit here.
